GANPATI FESTIVAL AT MY IN-LAWS PLACE

Ganpati Bappa Morya! Mangal Murti Morya! Aaj hum tumko batayenge ki Gannu ji—achha mere Gannu ji... tumhare bhi hain kya? Koi nahi, dono! Gannu ji mere liye itna zyada important kyun hain. Back in 2019, jab hum apne now husband—pehle toh boyfriend tha na (laughs)—toh jab hum unke ghar pe pehli baar gaye, hum dekhe maa ke hath mein aarti ka thali tha, aur maa aise karke humko bhi aarti ki. That was the time when I felt that immediate connection ki Gannu ji yaar, kuch toh kar do, lekin mera shaadi kara do. And we got blessed. Gannu ji blessing diye, aur hamari shaadi ho gayi. Jis year meri shaadi hoti hai, usi year maa aake humko bolti hain ki aaj se kyunki tum is ghar ki bahu ban chuki ho, toh ab se Gannu ji ka puja ka bhaara tumko uthana hai. Bole, "Nahi mammi, mere se nahi hoga, aapko rehna padega." Tab maa bolti hain ki dekho, bacche ke saath maa-baap hamesha hi rehte hain, lekin samay ke badalte hue padav ke saath bacchon ko apna zimmedari bhi lena padta hai. Agar aastha aur bhakti sacchi hai, toh ishwar prem hi hai. Hum log bahut, bahut, bahut dhoom-dhaam se celebrate kiye Bappa ka puja. Aaj tak bhi hum log celebrate karte hain. And we as a family is very blessed ki Bappa hum log ko itna aashirwaad dete hain. Aur aane wale har saal Bappa ka aashirwaad aise hi bana rahe ki hum log aise hi karke har saal Bappa ka puja karte rahein. Yeh story mere liye special isiliye hai kyunki Ganeshotsav humko yeh sikhaya ki kaise ek saas ek maa bani, aur ek bahu ek beti bani. Aasha karte hain aap sabke jeevan mein Bappa bahut, bahut, bahut sara pyaar aur bahut, bahut, bahut sara modak bhar de, taaki aane wale saal hum log phir se ek saath aise hi bol sakein: Ganpati Bappa Morya! Mangal Murti Morya!
